If you walk with Jesus today, you don't have anything to worry about tomorrow...
Well considering 36.3 yds. per drive would of been ranked the 4th highest in the league last year, that's not too bad. If you're gonna bash the team, at least know what the **** you're talking about (including the kickers name).

better days (08-21-2014)
Dr. Who (08-21-2014)
For the 10 drives this year, I get an average of 38.7 yards, 8.3 plays, 2.1 first downs, 3:37 TOP and 2.1 points (if you count the three drives where they probably would have kicked instead of gone for it in normal circumstances).
There's a lot of good you can take from that, even though it's just 10 drives:
* no 3 and outs (100% DSR...you can't beat that, 8.3 plays per drive compared to 5.6 in '13)
* excellent possession (3:37 TOP compared to 2:12 in '13)
* excellent yardage (38.7 compared to 26.7 ypd in '13)
* pretty good points (2.10 compared to 1.57 in '13)
* just one turnover (0.100 turnover per drive compared to 0.126 last year)
On the other hand...
* no td's
* red zone suckitude
At this point, I'd have to say I'm a bit surprised and guardedly optimistic.
